Italian-Style Paleo Meal

So I crave Italian food....ALL the time. I will be honest...I miss the pasta, the sauces and the bread, but I found a GREAT alternative that is Paleo AND I can have ready when I get home from a tough WOD!!! It is a no-fuss recipe that takes 5 minutes to put together and the house smells FABULOUS when you get home! My son Hayden can testify to that!

Paleo Chicken Cacciatore

1 medium onion, sliced thin

16 oz organic diced tomatoes

Small can of organic tomato sauce

1 lb chicken breasts

1 cup mushrooms, chopped

2 T Oregano

1 T Basil

2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine

2 bay leaves

1/2 cup chicken broth

Sea Salt and Pepper to taste

Slice the onion thin and place on the bottom of the Crockpot

Place chicken breasts on top and smother with diced tomatoes (in juice) and tomato sauce

Chop mushrooms and place on top of tomato mixture

Add all seasonings and 1/2 cup of chicken broth and turn Crockpot on low for 6-8 hours

Serve over steamed zucchini or squash and enjoy a warm, Italian-Style Paleo meal...without the cheese, pasta and bread! Satisfies ANY Italian craving!!!

HAPPY PALEO COOKING!!!!!
